With the Masterpiece series, Maurice Lacroix created a unique serie of watches. The Masterpiece serie really helped Maurice Lacroix establish themselves a name in watchmaking in a relatively short time-span. The "Spiritual" father of the Masterpiece serie is Renй Baumann. Some Masterpiece watches are equipped with historical movements in limited editions. Movements like the Valjoux 23, the FHF 29, Venus 188, Unitas 6376, AS5008. Other Masterpiece watches uses modern-day Swiss made movements that are optimized, modified and refined. Once completed Maurice Lacroix renames these movements. Most of modern-day complications can be found back in the Masterpiece serie.The Calendrier Retrograde came onto the market in the autumn of 2000.The MLCR uses the Unitas 6498-1 movement. The Unitas 6498 is a so called Savonette design movement, in which the winding stem is perpendicular to the line joining 12 o'clock at the dial and the seconds pivot (so the small second hand is fitted at the 6 o'clock position). The Unitas 6497 on the other hand is a so called Lйpine or open face designed movement. In this the small second hand is fitted in the axis of the winding stem (mostly at 9 o’clock)From its origins as a pocket watch movement is transformed almost beyond recognition to the caliber ML76. Some technical data: The ML76 movement is hand decorated and hand wound. 33jewels, 18.000 A/h (2,5Hz) blued steel screws, Incabloc shock protection, steel lever, Triovis polished adjustment, Glucydur coiled balance wheel. Nivarox 1 balance spring, Nivaflex 1 main spring. The diameter of the movement itself is 36,5mm (16Ѕ ligne)Further the balance is screwed, the bridges are angled. The "lower" parts are of the movement are finished in circular graining, and the bridges are finished in circular Geneva striping. This movement indeed is a beauty to look at.As a genuine MAURICE LACROIX man watch, this Masterpiece Retrograde Calendar Mechanical is in excellent condition throughout and complete with a gently used genuine crocodile leather strap and MAURICE LACROIX steel buckle.
